Yesterday, we lost our oldest dog. Tess would have been 16 on April 4. She was one of our very early rescued dogs. We were able later to trace her tattoo back to the breeder and learn her pedigree and age. She was a primary reason we got interested in GSPs so, in a sense, she was the "godmother" to all our GSP line, although we never bred her ourselves.
